Yes, the Oscar noms are out. I considered doing a snub/surprise post but I'm sure we'll have more posts where people can seethe over Barbie's snubs.
Highlighting that half the acting nominees (10 of 20) are first-time nominees and seven are POC, so yay baby steps towards diversity and inclusion (and, yes, if you're wondering, the other 10 previously-nominated actors are all white):
- Lead Actress: Lily Gladstone - Killers of the Flower Moon
- Lead Actress: Sandra Huller - Anatomy of a Fall
- Lead Actor: Colman Domingo - Rustin
- Lead Actor: Cillian Murphy - Oppenheimer
- Lead Actor: Jeffrey Wright - American Fiction
- Supporting Actress: Emily Blunt - Oppenheimer
- Supporting Actress: Danielle Brooks - The Colour Purple
- Supporting Actress: America Ferrera - Barbie
- Supporting Actress: Da'Vine Joy Randolph - The Holdovers
- Supporting Actor: Sterling K. Brown - American Fiction
